Chapter 696 Luxurious Like a Dream
Su Yuanbai had no choice but to remind, "Governor, once you massacre the city, I'm afraid it will attract Meng Shanming's wanton revenge in Song Kingdom!"
Luo Zhao grabbed his wrist and said forcefully, "It's not easy to back down on the battlefield! Elder Su, retreat ten thousand steps and say, even if you don't slaughter the city, as long as you take Yanjing and have a whole city of hostages, The State of Song will have the bargaining chip to negotiate with the State of Yan! Once the court tells me to retreat, I will have to cross the Dongyu River. If Meng Shanming blocks the river, we will be wasted here, and we will run out of food and grass. Okay? No matter what the final situation is, we must win enough bargaining chips for the imperial court! But the imperial court may not think so, I am afraid that it will just blindly urge you, elders, please help me!"
The words were sincere, as well as his look of anticipation with bloody spats.
He needs the support of the three factions too much now, and the fact that he is easy to get the support of the three factions is also related to his being the son-in-law of the Ling Xiaoge.
Su, Dong, and Chang all looked at each other, and they all felt that Luo Zhao's words were reasonable.
...
"Ha ha ha ha……"
Standing on the hillside and looking at the Song Army in the distance, Shang Chaozong looked up to the sky and laughed happily. He was holding the victory report from Meng Shanming in his hand.
The two million Jiangfang elites of the Song Dynasty were wiped out by Meng Shanming in such a short period of time. The danger of the country being destroyed by Dayan finally gave people hope. The Shang family's foundation can be preserved, so how can he be unhappy? ?
He pointed to the soldiers of the Song Dynasty in the distance and said: "Luo Zhao is now in a dilemma. Even if he can go back alive, he will probably face the predicament of falling into trouble. This is really retribution, and it is really happy!"
Huang Lie, the head of the Great Zen Mountain, clapped his hands excitedly, "Meng Shuai is Meng Shuai. It is really extraordinary to go out in person. Two million elites are wiped out, and with 600,000 captives in hand, the crisis in Yanjing should be solved." gone."
The battle had come to this point, and the situation was reversed against the trend, and he finally breathed a sigh of relief.
The war can end as soon as possible, and the interests of Nanzhou in Dachan Mountain can be preserved. How can we not breathe a sigh of relief?
Speaking of the 600,000 captives, Shang Chaozong looked down at the victory report in his hand, and sneered: "Luo Zhao is so rampant that he even offered a white horse as a gift. Now that the gift from Meng Shuai is on the way, I don't know how Luo Zhao feels after receiving it. .”
Speaking of the heavy gift in return, the corners of Huang Lie's mouth couldn't help twitching, it was because Meng Shanming's gift in return was too domineering and deterrent!
It's also a bit cruel, and the courtesy is unceremonious, even bloody, which is also a big deal!
With Meng Shanming's order, one of the 600,000 captives' ears was cut off, packed in a box, and sent to Luo Zhao, already on the way!
It is conceivable that once the news spreads, Meng Shanming's gift of 600,000 ears will greatly increase the prestige of the country of Yan!
What the two of them didn't know was that neither the Song court nor Luo Zhao knew that Meng Shanming had 600,000 captives in his hands.
...
Yanjing Imperial Palace, the women in the harem were chattering everywhere, in a mess.
Some news cannot be concealed, the Song Army is about to attack Yanjing, His Majesty is about to evacuate, and will take everyone away today, the nobles in each house packed their luggage, so as not to anger His Majesty if they haven't packed properly when they leave.
"Young concubine, all the courts are packing their luggage, do we need to pack something?"
The maid Xiaohong returned to the deserted courtyard and told Zhou Qing who was building flowers and plants about what she found out.
Zhou Qing paused for a moment, and said sadly, "Is there anything else we can clean up?"
The two maids looked at each other and lowered their heads sadly. The only belongings that should be taken care of here are all taken care of. Except for a few clothes, there is really nothing to take away. They can be packed and taken away at any time after receiving the news, without any trouble at all.
At this moment, there were many footsteps outside, as if they were running around, the sound of neat steps, and the sound of armor rubbing.
Zhou Qing listened attentively, and Xiao Hong turned around immediately, ready to see what was going on.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he reached the door, he was blocked by several eunuchs, and Xiao Hong, who was frightened by the things contained in the tray held by the head eunuch, backed away repeatedly.
There was a folded white silk and a jug of wine on the tray. As a person who lived in the palace for a long time, he knew very well what it meant to bring out this thing.
Xiaohong backed away in horror, and scolded: "What do you want to do?"
The head eunuch ignored her, and went straight to Zhou Qing with his things. Two eunuchs guarded the gate of the courtyard.
"I have seen the imperial concubine." The head eunuch stood in front of Zhou Qing and saluted respectfully.
Zhou Qing was stunned when he saw what was in the opponent's hand, and the scissors in his hand fell to the ground with a clatter.
The head eunuch sighed, "Your Majesty, I won't talk too much about the miscellaneous family. The miscellaneous family has no choice. There are two things. The imperial concubine can choose one for herself."
Zhou Qing pursed his lips, "Who mean? Is it the Empress?"
The head eunuch said: "The Chief Manager means that the Miscellaneous Family is also following orders. Your Majesty has a lot of people. If there was anything wrong with you before, the Miscellaneous Family will apologize here. I hope that the Mistress will not blame the Miscellaneous Family when she is happy."
Zhou Qing smiled, and smiled bitterly. She knew too well that no matter how powerful Tian Yu was in the palace, she would not dare to treat her like this. After all, she was the emperor's woman, and Tian Yu would not dare to kill her even if she had a hundred guts. .
Pointing out the chief executive, she had already guessed who it was, and said with a wry smile: "I'm about to go on the road, I only have one request, goodbye to your majesty for the last time, let me bid farewell to your majesty."
The head eunuch shook his head and said, "No way! All the passages outside have been blocked by the imperial army. No one is allowed to enter or leave without authorization, even the imperial concubine."
Zhou Qing had tears in his eyes, "Isn't it okay if I want to know why you want to kill me? Is it okay to let Bengong die to understand?"
The head eunuch hesitated for a moment, and finally sighed: "You must have heard that the Song army is about to attack the capital. In order to facilitate the evacuation, we can't take everyone away. The chief executive is also thinking of His Majesty. This harem is full of beauties. If all of them are mixed in The number of the temporarily evacuated army is too large and eye-catching, it is really indecent, and it will affect the morale of the people. If the empress and others are left behind, once the city is broken, I am afraid that the enemy will desecrate the empress. The chief executive is really kind, and you don't want to Blame him, you are not alone on the road, there are other empresses to accompany you!"
It turned out that Zhou Qing was tearful, shook his head and choked with sobs and said: "Your Majesty is too heartless, I don't even remember the gentleness of the past."
She had no choice in front of her, the only thing she could choose was the two things on the tray, she only hated her father for dying early, if the powerful father Zhou Shouxian was still around, the emperor would not dare to treat her like this.
"Your Majesty, let's go as soon as possible." The head eunuch urged.
Zhou Qing slowly stretched out his hand, grabbed a piece of white silk from the tray, and slowly turned around to go into the house, looking lost.
"Your Majesty!" Two maids cried and stopped her, but were restrained by two eunuchs.
The sorrowful Zhou Qing moved too slowly. When he returned to the house and saw that the beams were still not moving, the chief eunuch got impatient and waved his hand, "We have to chase the next family. We can't afford to delay things. Help Empress, send empress to the road!"
An eunuch snatched the white silk from Zhou Qing's hand, pulled a stool and stood on it, threw one end of the white silk in his hand over the beam, and tied the two ends together to tie a knot.
Zhou Qing lightened up, and found himself being picked up by an eunuch, who cooperated with the eunuch standing on the stool, and put her neck into the white silk.
The two eunuchs loosened their hands, one backed away, the other jumped off the stool and kicked over the stool, leaving only Zhou Qing hanging on the beam and kicking his legs struggling.
"Your Majesty!" The two maids who were held outside the door cried out in distress.
Unexpectedly, when the eunuchs turned around, they held down the two maids and squeezed their mouths open.
The head eunuch poured the poisoned wine in his hand, and said coldly in front of the two of them: "I'm afraid that my mother will be alone on the road and no one will take care of her, so you two go to accompany my mother, remember to serve her well."
The second daughter was terrified, the leading eunuch was not polite, poured two glasses of poisoned wine into their mouths each, and another eunuch covered the mouth of the second daughter to prevent her from spitting out.
The second daughter quickly tensed up and twitched.
Zhou Qing on the beam was also gradually unable to move, with two lines of tears on his face, and despair in his eyes, he remembered that when he was beautiful, His Majesty the Emperor loved him in every possible way, and even the empress wanted to let her three points, the luxury was like a dream ,Ma'am!
The head eunuch looked back at the one on the beam, "Keep two people and come to me after confirming that they are dead. The others will follow me to the next house." After saying that, he left in a hurry.
It didn't take long, and there were dangling corpses hung on many roof beams in the entire harem, or lying on the ground with black faces.
Standing on the high pavilion in the palace, listening to the begging and crying in the harem, Meng Xuan, the head of Lingjian Mountain, closed his eyes and his face was expressionless. He knew this kind of thing and would not interfere.
Not far away, the Empress Empress led a group of harem beauties out. All the beauties looked ugly, including the empress, who were frightened.
Even the maids around the queen were dealt with suddenly. Except the queen could bring four maids, each of the other empresses could only bring two, and all the more were sent on the road, right in front of their eyes. Lu, how can this group of noble people not be afraid, they are almost scared to death.
A group of eunuchs who went to all directions to kill each other quickly gathered together and returned to a courtyard.
Unexpectedly, as soon as everyone arrived, a group of forbidden troops surrounded them, and a group of archers appeared upstairs. Under the rain of whizzing arrows, the screaming eunuchs fell to the ground, blood gurgling, including Zhou Qing who had been killed before. A few eunuchs who did it.
Afterwards, the forbidden army surrounded the corpses again, not sparing any of them...
The Chaotang hall was empty, only Shang Jianxiong was sitting on the dragon chair.
Chief Manager Tian Yu quickly stepped inside and went up from the side steps to Shang Jianxiong's side, and said in a low voice: "The nobles are on their way, and the slaves who were rude to the nobles have been dealt with cleanly. Your Majesty, it's getting late, you can Order to set off."
Shang Jianxiong, whose facial muscles squirmed slightly, got up, left the dragon chair, and walked down the steps, followed by Tian Yu.
As soon as the two of them reached the entrance of the main hall, they heard someone shouting outside, "Good news! Good news! Your Majesty, good news!"
I saw the great Sima Shang Yongzhong waving the victory report and galloping towards him, disregarding even the minimum posture, ran up the steps in a hurry, panting and saluting the good news, "Your Majesty, our army has won a great victory, the Song Guojiang Defense two million elite army Annihilated!"
He was about to cry with joy, damn it, the emperor asked him to lead an army of 100,000 to guard the capital and fight the enemy to the end, even if he didn't agree.
It is really impossible to find a more suitable person than him, who called him the Great Sima of the Yan Kingdom.
